What We Did:

City of Huron

When the city of Huron, South Dakota, decided to redesign their website, they had specific criteria in mind for the look and functionality of the new site. We met with representatives from different city departments, including the Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Board, to hear each group's ideas and determine their needs.

The website is actually comprised of six sections which focus on different audiences: visitors, residents, future residents, City Government, Chamber of Commerce, and Economic Development. Since several of these categories and pages are interrelated, it was essential that we develop a cohesive and seamless navigation so that site viewers can easily find what they are looking for.

The city also needed to be able to update the site frequently, upload multiple pdfs and documents, and post announcements, so we customized a CMS which allows city officials from various departments to manage content for their pages with administrative approval.

Now, the site has a fresh, inviting design and several interactive features. Contact forms, business directories, videos - everything web users might need regarding the city of Huron is now right at their finger tips.

A fresh new design simplifies access to the vast amount of content within the site, supported by great photography throughout.
